Delicious and worth a try. My oven runs a little hot so it only took 18 minutes for my cupcakes. It easily makes 24 standard sized cupcakes with the recipe as is. I accompanied it with Simple and Delicious Buttercream Frosting found on this site and they were awesome.

At first, I tried the batter and thought, "this is way too sweet," but then it baked up beautifully. I made 24 cupcakes and about 18 minis. 30 minutes for the regular sized at 325. A very delicious cake! I am so glad I tried it, despite being a little hesitant to because of the name of this recipe. :)

This was decent. I used soy milk instead of buttermilk so I knew there would be a difference there. The texture is like a dense angel food cake. And it tasted a little too eggy for me. Next time, I will try with less eggs.

Delicious! I made 36 cupcakes with this recipe. They baked at 325 for 24-25 minutes. If you make the 'cheese filling' recipe from this site, and drop 1 tsp on each cupcake and 1 or 2 raspberries (before baking) you have fabulous raspberry cheesecake filled cupcakes.

I chose this cake for it's simplicity, as I just needed a white cake to use for cake pops. As expected, it came together nicely and baked perfect little cupcakes for me to crumble up and use for my client order. Well... I had my boyfriend try them and he said they taste weird. A little bummed, I asked what he meant... oddly enough, he said it tasted like bread. I haven't told him the name of this recipe--I'm always trying new recipes and he often teases me about just sticking with a tried and true favorite--so I'd hate for him to tease me for making this "white bread" cake. :) It's true. It's not as light and tender as a cake ought to be. I made a different white cake recipe last night and did a side by side comparison... strikingly different. While I will not throw out this cake since my coworkers have indiscriminating tastes, I simply cannot and will not use this for a paying client.

This cake was wonderful! My friend who doesn't like cake actually ate a piece after tasting a bite. My husband, while eating his piece, asked to not be disturbed while he was in his 'happy place'. I followed the recipe exactly. I added the wedding cake frosting.
Next time, since the cake had such a pleasant vanilla flavor, I think I will try a maple frosting on it. My suggestion to those who struggled with the recipe, don't rush the process. Beat each step well, especially when adding the eggs one at a time.

Just tested this out for a party - absolutely heavenly! Tastes nothing like white bread. Angel food cake slightly? Tastes exactly what you'd think of for a classic "birthday cake" taste. I usually don't review recipes I've made changes to but need to share this one. I halved the recipe for testing purposes & so I wouldn't nom a whole cake. Used real butter (margarine, ick!), only 3/4 cup sugar plus 5 drops of liquid stevia as opposed to the 1.5 cups of sugar it would have originally wanted. It was plenty sweet, & not sickeningly so. Added more vanilla. Perfect & sturdy cake for icing & decorating. The crust is just slightly crispy and melts in your mouth, but it did not brown very much at all! It's beautiful. The inside is neither too dense nor too airy/fluffed-up, it's a perfect in-between. Moist but not sticky, not dry at all. Seriously. Good. Cake. Try it. With butter.

I used Splenda instead of the sugar, as it was for a friend of mine who cannot have sugar. I would have given this recipe only 2 stars, except that maybe it would have been different had I used actual sugar and also, while I was sorely disappointed, my friend loved it. It was the heaviest, most dense cake I have ever had. It was like a brick. I figured with the shortening, eggs and buttermilk, it would be very moist but it was not. I'm not sure how I would change it to improve it but I don't think I'll even be trying.
